The Big Adventure !

If you‟ve done the last year of school but are not yet ready to settle down life at university or college, why not think about taking a break and having a gap year? Over 200,000 people between the ages of 18 and 25 did this last year, 20,000 of them students. (0) __A_ Students who have had a gap year are more likely to be satisfied with their chosen courses and, therefore, are more likely to finish them. (1) ____ You will become more confident and independent and learn to get on with all sorts of different people, which will help you when you go to university or college. If you are unsure about what to do, just type „gap year‟ into a computer and have a look at the enormous number of websites offering to sort things out for you. Doing voluntary work overseas is one of the most rewarding ways of spending your gap year. It is a fantastic way of getting to know a different culture. (2) ____ A three-month stay in Australia, for example, doing farm work costs £1965 including all food and accommodation and nine months as a voluntary teacher in Tanzania costs £1940. (3) ____ How about studying art history in Italy? Art History Abroad has courses in Venice, Florence and Rome. Perhaps you would like to take up acting and want to try a drama course in your gap year. The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art runs four-week or eight-week summer courses and the Oxford School of Drama has a six-month foundation course for students over the age of 17. (4) ____ Maybe it has always been your dream to visit China, or India or even Australia. If you are travelling alone, work out a sensible itinerary, plan well in advance, set up lots of contact points and get good insurance. Research shows that 36% of all gap year travellers are affected by a medical problem, while around 38% lose luggage and 14% lose cash. Shop around to get the best and cheapest insurance for your needs. Of course, you don‟t have to leave home. The key to a constructive gap year is to learn new skills and work out what you want to do with your life. (5) ____ Employers will always ask people who apply for jobs about what they gained from the year, not where they went.
